White Picket Fence

I haven't written in here in almost a month, so I felt it was about time that I did. Life has been very busy to say the least. Some days all of it gets very overwhelming, but most days I trust in God to get me through it all. And I just take everything one step at a time.

Our wedding is about two and a half months away. This is unbelievable to me! We have dresses ordered, appointments made, and things arranged. Ashley, Tyler, and I are going tonight to meet with the wedding planner. I am very excited about this, because I can begin to put my visions into action! There are still a lot of things to get done, but I have some amazing help so we'll get there. Honestly, wedding planning has not been too stressful. So that's good.

Also, Tyler and I decided to start looking at houses to buy. Our lease is up at the end of April. We were just going to move into a cheaper apartment. Our apartment complex went up on the rent again. And I am not willing to pay $800 a month for a one bedroom apartment. No thank you. But then we realized with the economy the way it is and interest rates the way they are, and the $7500 dollar tax refund you get, it might just be best to buy a house. Our mortgage would be about the same amount as rent. So we'll see. It's actually been really fun looking at different houses. We've found one we REALLY like, but we still want to look around a little more before we decide.

The idea of getting married and us owning our own home is so weird to me. The house hunting is something that Tyler and I weren't planning on doing for a couple more years, so it seems so strange. But it is also VERY exciting. I don't want to get my hopes up too much, just in case something doesn't work out. But really, I can just imagine where I'd put what in our first little home. I can imagine getting a fence for the backyard, and finally being able to get a dog, because we aren't in a little apartment anymore. I want to plant flowers and a garden. And grill out and decorate how we want. Actually paint the walls. lol, I hope it all works out. If it doesn't there's a reason for it. Everything happens for a reason. But in the meantime, it's fun imagining it all.

Right now, things are going really well. God has blessed us so much and in ways I couldn't even imagine. I'm clinging to him no matter what happens. Well hopefully that was enough of an update for everyone. I'm not sure when I'll have time to write again :)
